Read the following passage and choose the best answers to each of the
questions below.
Just a few years ago, this place was called Dumptown. The people living here
didn’t think much about where waste went when they threw it out. Things that could
be reused or recycled were thrown in the trash, because nobody believed recycling
made a difference. And, eventually, that became a very big problem. The garbage
heap grew and began to smell. Sometimes it caught fire, and making it hard for
everyone to breathe. Dumptowners knew they had to fix it. They learned to reduce the
amount of waste they threw away. For example, they learned to reuse things like
washing out empty jars instead of throwing them away. And, they learned to recycle.
